Thd petition charged, that the Defendants were in possession of the land covered by the grant, claiming it untier mesne conveyances from the patentees, but neither the latter nor their heirs, were made parties Defendant.\nOn the Fall circuit of 1827, his honor Judge Norwood vacated the grant, for reasons which it is unnecessary to slate, as they were not discussed in this Court, and no opinion was given upon them.\nThe case came here upon the appeal of the Defendants, and Badger, for them, objected that the patentees were not parries \u2014 lie contended that this must be the case, because the judgment being in rem, otherwise tiiey might be affected by a suit which they had no opportunity of defending.\nWilson, contra."
